South Fork Camps Campground

South Fork Camps is a primitive dispersed campground at the confluence of South Fork Chetco River and the Wild and Scenic Chetco River, divided into Upper (secluded) and Lower (larger, more open) areas ideal for tent and small trailer camping.

The site offers direct river access for swimming and fishing with portable toilets, but lacks developed amenities like water, fire pits, or garbage disposal—campers must pack out all trash.

Located 8 miles from the forest boundary via Forest Road 1376 from Brookings, it operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with a $10/night fee and 14-day maximum stay.
